I guess so.

That's the accelerator they let us undergrads smash atoms with.

That is a cool pic. You will need to post the one with the glasses and grandpa sweater to confirm the geekdom.

You know way too much. :zoinks:

was oppehmeimer on a coffee break, old man?;)

Was actually recreating Rutherford's experiment that day. At some point, the alarm that detected too many radioactive particles went off and I had to run outta there. I was never that great in the lab. Always preferred pen and paper.

gold foil standard for "viewing" particles released after the collision of alpha particles. Did the same stuff in college.

super colliders are cool. I liked the EM telescope better.

Was your major physics?

I didn't get to play with one of those :-(

CS Engineering and Physics, Astronomy Minor (could have completed the major.) History, Chemistry minor.

Geek.

How the hell didn't I know that after all these years?

Failure to use the scientific method will bite you in the ass:)

seriously, no idea.

Oh, I knew it was something nerdy. :-P

i've learned to cope:)

Success has that effect.

being insane also helps

:blink:

no comment

probably for the best

In some sort of crude sense, which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.


:)

You were dressing pretty hip for 1952. Were you a beatnik or something?

That picture is classic!!!

B)

Grimm is a smart mother fucker - glad he is my partner!!

:rokk:

COlin i didnt know you were that old :)

Yeah, film. It was an old Polaroid instant camera.

Bobby Oppenheimer was a smart man;) that group got to be the hand of god, and sword of damacles all in one. If you read their journals, writings, etc. after the Atom was split.. there is a sad, somber, almost melanholy guilt, a philosophy on man weighted down by anguish and the magnitude of what happened. Einstein was never the same, Neither was Oppenheimer, nor Feyman

Yeah, film. It was an old Polaroid instant camera. [/b][/quote]
model release? nice film, i expect charlie chaplain to tap dance across it at any moment:)

its not my fault you got all the looks in the family;)

The simple answer to your original question is a resounding - YES!

:biglaugh:

I'm visiting mom's for a week. I have plenty of ammunition to fire back with (looks evilly at the picture albums).

I was always pretty!

Pretty 80s!

Looks like the set of Dr. Who.

... Damn they had some bad sets and (cough) special effects!

Seriously though, love the pic!!!
